[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example:

[0024] Please see Figure 1-8 An automatic assembly, labeling, and inspection device for iron shells includes a frame. A first electric turntable 1 and a second electric turntable 2 are respectively arranged on both sides of the frame. A power-on detection mechanism 3, a height detection mechanism 4, a vision detection mechanism 11, and an iron shell assembly mechanism 5 are arranged sequentially around the first electric turntable 1 on the frame. A labeling mechanism 6, a pressure holding mechanism 7, and a unloading mechanism 8 are arranged sequentially around the second electric turntable 2 on the frame. A transfer robot 9 is arranged on the frame between the first electric turntable 1 and the second electric turntable 2. An unloading robot 10 is arranged on the frame next to the second electric turntable 2. A first carrier 101 is arranged on the rotating platform of the first electric turntable 1. The first carrier 101 is provided with a first positioning groove 1011 and a second positioning groove 1012 offset from each other. A second carrier 201 is fixedly connected to the rotating platform of the second electric turntable 2.

[0025] The power-on testing mechanism 3 includes a pressing cylinder 301, a first sliding cylinder 302, and a testing probe 303. The pressing cylinder 301 is used to press the connector body 12 in the testing position, and the first sliding cylinder 302 is used to drive the testing probe 303 to contact the metal head inside the connector body 12 to perform a power-on test.

[0026] The height detection mechanism 4 includes a first gripper cylinder 401, a second slide cylinder 402, a detection block 403, a sliding pin 404, and a pressure sensor 405. The first gripper cylinder 401 is used to grip and position the plug portion of the connector body 12. The piston rod of the second slide cylinder 402 extends and retracts to drive the detection block 403 and the pressure sensor 405 to slide towards the connector body 12 for detection. During the sliding of the detection block 403, the sliding pin 404 can detect the height of the metal plug of the connector body 12. If the height detection of the metal plug is qualified, the sliding pin 404 will slide towards the pressure sensor 405 under the obstruction of the metal plug. When the pressure sensor 405 detects that the pressure is within the qualified range, the height detection is qualified.

[0027] The metal shell assembly mechanism 5 includes an XY moving module 501, a positioning plug 502, and a second gripper cylinder 503. The XY moving module 501 can drive the positioning plug 502 to be inserted into the socket of the connector body 12, and the second gripper cylinder 503 is used to clamp the outer wall of the connector body 12.

[0028] The labeling mechanism 6 includes a label printer 601, a YZ moving module 602, a rotary cylinder 603, a third slide cylinder 604, and a suction nozzle 605. The label printer 601 can print labels, the suction nozzle 605 is used to pick up labels, the YZ moving module 602 is used to drive the suction nozzle 605 to pick up and apply labels, and the rotary cylinder 603 is used to drive the suction nozzle 605 to rotate and switch between the material picking station and the labeling station.

[0029] A conveyor belt is provided next to the unloading robot 10. The unloading robot 10 can unload the labeled finished products onto the conveyor belt for unloading. A support cylinder 504 is provided on the frame opposite to the positioning plug 502. When assembling the connector body 12 and the iron shell 13, the support cylinder 504 can support the iron shell 13.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The connector body 12 and the iron shell 13 are respectively fed into the first positioning groove 1011 and the second positioning groove 1012 of the first carrier 101 by an external feeding mechanism. Then, by rotating the turntable of the first electric turntable 1, at the power-on testing station, the first slide cylinder 302 drives the testing probe 303 to translate and extend into the socket of the connector body to contact the metal head for power-on testing. If the power-on test is qualified, the next step of height testing is carried out. During the height test, the first gripper cylinder 401 is used to clamp and position the plug part of the connector body 12. The piston rod of the second-stage cylinder 402 extends and retracts to drive the detection block 403 and pressure sensor 405 to slide towards the connector body 12 for detection. During the sliding of the detection block 403, the sliding pin 404 can detect the height of the metal plug of the connector body 12. If the height detection of the metal plug is qualified, the sliding pin 404 will slide towards the pressure sensor 405 under the obstruction of the metal plug. When the pressure sensor 405 detects that the pressure is within the qualified range, the height detection is qualified. Products that pass the height test are subsequently transferred to the vision inspection mechanism 11 to check the connector body 12 towards... The connector body 12 is visually inspected for surface defects; if none are found, it is considered a qualified product. After all inspections, the connector body 12 is assembled into the metal shell at the metal shell assembly mechanism 5. The XY moving module 501 drives the positioning plug 502 to insert into the socket of the connector body 12. The second gripper cylinder 503 clamps the outer wall of the connector body 12. Then, the piston rod of the support cylinder 504 extends and presses against the metal shell 13 for support. The XY moving module 501 lifts the connector body 12 and inserts it into the metal shell 13 to complete the assembly. The assembled product is then transferred by the transfer robot 9. The label is transferred from the first carrier 101 to the second carrier 201, and then rotated by the second electric turntable 2 to the labeling station for labeling. The label printer 601 prints the label, and the YZ moving module 602 drives the suction nozzle 605 to pick up the label. Then, the rotary cylinder 603 drives the label to rotate 180° to the labeling station. The YZ moving module 602 drives the suction nozzle 605 to attach the label to the iron shell 13. After that, the label is transferred to the pressure holding station, where the pressure holding mechanism holds the label. Finally, the unloading robot 10 grabs the finished product from the second carrier 201 for unloading.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
